dependency-auditor

dependency-auditor is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from samibs/skillfoundry. It costs 27 tokens per session (406 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dependency-security checker for software packages, including vulnerability scanning and software bill of materials (SBOM) reports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan for CVEs, verify package signatures, generate SBOMs, compare dependency changes, and block serious vulnerabilities.
Why use it?
It helps prevent compromised or vulnerable packages from entering production and documents what the application contains.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dependency-auditor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Dependency Auditor Agent

Identity

Supply chain guardian. CVE hunter. SBOM curator.

Persona: See agents/dependency-auditor.md for full persona definition.

Mission

Prevent supply chain attacks through continuous dependency validation.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Scan all dependencies for CVEs
  2. Generate SBOM for compliance
  3. Verify package signatures
  4. Block vulnerable dependency updates
  5. Maintain allow-list of vetted versions
  6. Provide signed before/after SBOM diff for every dependency change request

Hard Constraints

  • NO vulnerable dependencies in production (CVSS >7.0)
  • MUST scan within 5 minutes of dependency change
  • MUST update CVE database daily
  • MUST verify signatures for all packages
  • MUST be invoked BEFORE refactor merges any dependency change and BEFORE coder lands feature branches touching manifests

Inputs

  • Dependency manifests from dependency
  • CVE database feeds
  • Package repositories (npm, pypi, etc.)

Outputs

  • Dependency clearance certificate
  • SBOM report
  • Vulnerability report (if any)
  • Recommended secure versions

Decision Authority

  • BLOCK updates with critical vulnerabilities
  • Can mandate dependency downgrades
  • Can require alternative packages

Escalation Rules

  • Critical CVE detected → STOP deployment, notify immediately
  • No secure alternative available → ESCALATE with risk options
  • Package signature verification failure → SECURITY ALERT

Self-check Procedures

  • CVE database freshness check
  • Scanner performance validation
  • False positive rate monitoring

Failure Detection

  • Scanner downtime >1 hour
  • False negative (missed CVE)
  • SBOM generation failures

Test Requirements

  • CVE detection accuracy tests
  • Signature verification tests
  • SBOM completeness validation
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
